AppGini beta releases (Pro users only)

Post by a.gneady » 2013-04-29 13:11

Hi all,

It's been a long time since I last posted anything here. I've been so busy working on the new release of AppGini, and on another related application that I'll talk about later .. So, I apologize for my long absence. And I'd like to deeply thank all the moderators for doing a great job of maintaining the forum during this time.

Some of you might have already noticed this: I'm now making the beta version of AppGini available through the pro download area at http://bigprof.com/appgini/download-pro ... (you'll need your AppGini order number and the email address you used during ordering to access it) ... The beta is for adventurers only :D You can view it more as a nightly build than a stable beta, so I won't recommend using its output in a production environment until I release it officially. Your feedback and bug reports are, as usual, always welcome.

I'll continually update this post with the change log as I upload new betas. Consider this change log as what's new since the latest official release. Some points might look vague/uncomprehensible ... forgive me for that, I'm copying them from my repository comments directly without editing. The official change log at http://bigprof.com/appgini/release-log would be refined and edited for clarity.
